Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process of polishing glass and a machine for carrying out this process.
  • polishers which are impregnated with a paste of iron oxide herein referred to as the polishing composition, and are rotated and pressed against the glass with increasing pressure. It is known to submit simultaneously both faces of the glass to grinding, then to polishing, and in either case, to select the direction of rotation of the tools so that their reactions on the glass are opposed, thereby reducing stresses in the glass. While this system has generally proved to be satisfactory for grinding, the frictional pressure of the tools on the glass being low, it has inconveniences in polishing, where the coefficient of friction increases materially as the surface of the glass becomes heated,
  • Another advantage of this process consists in making it possible to locate closer to each other the tools working in succession on the glass and consequently to reduce the causes for cooling the glass. This advantage is particularly noticeable when, according to one embodiment of this invention, the polishers have a square or rectangular shape instead of the usual circular shape.
  • polishers may be rotated While they perform their reciprocating motion transversely of the direction of progress of the glass. Moreover, they may advantageously be moved in the direction of progression of the glass, in order to diminish their resistance to said progression, the movement of the polishers being either at the same speed as, at a lower speed or at a higher speed than the prog ession of the glass.
  • the polishers are mounted on beams arranged in pairs, one below and the other above the glass, transversely thereof.
  • the lower beam is mounted on a frame which carries the mechanism for reciprocating same and the means for feeding same with polishing composition and with oil.
  • the upper beam is also mounted on said frame, which may be stationary or movable. In the latter case, the frames move in the same direction as the glass and when the polishing operation is completed, the two beams of each pair are successively separated, brought back to their initial position and again set in action while they again start their movement on the glass.
  • Fig. 1 shows in longitudinal elevation and part section a general view of the machine.
  • Fig. 2 is on a larger scale a cross section on line II-II of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a fragmentary plan view of the machine.
  • Fig. i is a fragmentary plan view showing a modification.
  • Fig. 5 is on a larger scale, a fragmentary s ction on line V-V of Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 6 is a cross section on line VI-VI of Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 7 is a plan view of the lower downward lift.
  • Fig. 8 is an elevation on a larger scale of the upper upward and downward lifts.
  • Fig. 9 is a fragmentary section on line Iii-IX of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 10 is a corresponding plan view.
  • Fig. 11 is a plan view of the actuating mechanism for the upper downward lift.
  • Figs. 12 and 13 are schematic wiring diagrams of the machine.
  • the machine illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3 is adapted to receive a continuous glass band or sheet 5 which has already been subjected to grinding and may or may not have been subjected to preliminary polishing, said glass sheet being fed on rolls 2.
  • the sheet i thus passes between the lower polishers 3 carried by beams i and the upper polishers carried by beams 6 the polishers 3 and E are respectively rotated by means of worms 93, 95 actuated by motors 92, 84 carried by the beams e, E3.
  • the polishers 3 and 5 being brought into contact with both sides of the glass respectively, the beams 3 and 6 are reciprocated, preferably in opposite directions as will be described hereafter.
  • each lower beam 4 is brought down by a downward lift 1 on a lower set of rolls 8, while the corresponding upper beam 6 is lifted by an upward lift 9 and deposited onto an upper set of rolls is.
  • the beams 4 and t are then brought back to the entrance end of the machine, where an upward lift 5 i and a downward lift I2 respectively bring them back into their initial positions in order to start again the polishing operation.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a pair of beams in operative position.
  • the beams c and 3 are mounted for reciprocating movement across the glass in a frame made of two parts 13, Hi, which frame is slidably mounted on a base comprising a pair of rails i5 parallel to the glass sheet 1 To this end each part it, M is provided with a rack section i6 adapted to be engaged in turn by a driving wheel 11.
  • the transverse movements of the beams are imparted thereto by connecting rods [8, l9 driven by crank discs 29, 2! rotated by a motor 22 through a speed reducing gear 23, all these parts being carried by the frame 14.
  • the movements of the two beams are synchronised by a chain 24, the crank pins 25, 25 being preferably at 180 from each other so that the beams always move in opposite directions, one being at the end of its leftward stroke when the other is at the end of its rightward stroke.
  • the polishers 3 and 5 are advantageously of rectangular shape as shown in Fig. 3, this shape insuring a great working efficiency when the polishers are mounted. against rotation in their carrying beams. They may however have another shape, such as a circular shape, and be mounted for rotation as shown in Fig. 4. In order still further to reduce the stresses in the glass, it is advantageous to alternate the movement of adjacent beams, one beam moving from right to left, while the preceding one and the following one move from left to right.
  • the part I3 of the frame carries a receptacle 2'! for the polishing composition which, by means of the pump 28 supplies the polishers 3 and 5 through pipes 29, 3d.
  • the polishers do not rotate, the composition may be poured near their edges (as shown at 3!, in Fig. 5), whereby a better distribution of the composition over the whole surface of the polishers is obtained.
  • an oil receptacle 32 In proximity to the receptacle 21 is an oil receptacle 32 which, by means of pump 33 and pipes 36, 35, feeds the cylinders 36 (Fig. 5) with oil adapted to press the polishers against the glass, under the action of pistons 31 and against the pressure of return springs 38.
  • oil receptacle 32 In proximity to the receptacle 21 is an oil receptacle 32 which, by means of pump 33 and pipes 36, 35, feeds the cylinders 36 (Fig. 5) with oil adapted to press the polishers against the glass, under the action of pistons 31 and against the pressure of return springs 38.
  • hydraulic pistons instead of hydraulic pistons,
  • the frames l3, I i also carry brackets 39 (Fig. 6) with freely rotating rolls 40 adapted to support the glass between the successive rolls of polishers 3.
  • the successive beam-carrying frames are in contact with each other, each frame pushing the preceding frame along the rails I5, under the action of the gears H driven from motors not shown.
  • the speed of travel of the beams need not be equal to that of the glass sheet, but it may be greater or smaller than the speed of the glass.
  • this arrangement reduces to a minimum the portion of the glass sheet or band which, at a given moment, is located between two sets of polishers and is exposed to cooling.
  • the high temperature of the glass surface which is favorable to polishing, is better preserved than with the known devices.
  • the frames l3, #4 are provided with contact pieces 18 (Fig. 2) which engage bus-bars 79 extending from the entrance to nearly the exit end of the machine in order to supply current to the motors controlling the reciprocating movements of the beams, the supply of composition, oil, etc.
  • the contactor 82 is controlled by a switch 4, situated in the path of an abutment 85 secured to the beam 4.
  • the abutment 85 opens the switch 84, thus interrupting the supply of current to the bars 19' and causing the motor 22 to stop, whereby the beams are stopped in a central position.
  • the motors actuating pumps 28 and 33 are stopped at the same time and the polishers are returned back to their inoperative positions under the action of the springs 33.
  • the abutment 85 so proportioned as to break the supply of current to the bars 19' until the corresponding beam is disengaged therefrom, whereupon the switch 84 is returned back to its closed position by a spring 86.
  • the frame !3, M is then engaged by a dog 4! (Fig. 1) on a fast moving chain 42 which carries the frame towards and onto the downward lift 2 which is provided with a rack driven by gears '56 from the motor T! (Fig. 7).
  • hooks 43 on the upward lift 9 engage, as herein- Mter described, a suspension bar 44 on the beam 6 and lift the same from the frame i3, M.
  • an operator has disconnected couplings c5, 46 inserted in the composition pipe 30 and oil pipe 35 which are also provided with non return valves 41, 48.
  • FIG. 8 The construction of the upper lifts, i. e. the upward lift 8 the downward lift i2 is shown detail on Figs. 8 and 11.
  • These apparatus are arranged symmetrically at both ends of the machine and they comprise rocker arms El carrying a cross bar 553 on which are suspended the hooks 43 for successively engaging and releasing the suspension bars i i of the beams t.
  • the arms Eil which are mounted on each side of the machine, are pivoted on trunnions 59 in stationary bearings til (Fig. 11). Rigidly connected with said arms are toothed sectors 6i meshing with sectors 62 which through shaft 53, rs fit and a reducer 55, are driven from reversible motor mounted on a platform 89.
  • Fig. 3 the ants El of lift 9 as illustrated in .iuil line, are in waiting position, i. e. in read;- iness for engaging an incoming beam.
  • the cross bar which normally urged by the Weight 58 to take up a position in which the hooks d3 are ready to engage the suspension bar d4 of the first incoming beam.
  • a motor T3 for the lower lift operates in the same manner, so that when the frame 53, i l carrying the beam 4 closes the switch the lift i! is raised and stopped when the lower tools 3 have reached the level of the under surface of the glass.
  • the operation is just the same as has been described with respect to lift '1.
  • the frame iii-4d is then engaged as described in Fig. l by a finger 51 carried by the chain 53, and it actuates on its way the switch fill in order to cause the lift H to move downwards.
  • the frame i3 it is pushed against the preceding frame by the arms at as previously described. From that moment, the rack it is engaged by the gear ii, the contact pieces it engage the feed bars 18 and the polishing tools start again to work.
  • the arms 5? of the lifts d are illustrated in full lines, in the waiting position.
  • the cross bar 58 pivotally mounted at Sl on the ends of the arms 5'2, is by a weight 63 in a position adapted to allow the suspension bar iii of the first oncoming beam. '5 to be engaged by the hooks 5-3.
  • motor 65 has rotated disc E25 which is fitted with a contact st. p similar to strip its described in connection with motor iii, the rotation of the motor being stopped at the moment the spring '53 compressed by the cross bar 58, causes the latter to tilt backwards and. the hooks &3 to free the suspension bar 44.
  • This tilting movement causes finger H (Fig. 8) to close contact 32, which, as shown in Fig. 13 reverses the rotation of motor 85, thereby causing the arms 52 to move back to the position illustrated in full lines in Fig. 8.
  • the downward movement of said arms is stopped by the breakin of the contact between the strip on disc I25 and the contact points, in the same manner as has been explained with respect to strip I08 and contact points Hi9, HE, and H8, H9.
  • lift it is controlled by a motor in exactly the same manner as has been described for lift 9, controlled by motor 66.
  • the switches 73 and T2 are closed only for a very short time, and the contacts i222 and E28 are controlled by suitable locking devices, as explained in connection with reference to Fig. 12.
  • the beams may have imparted thereto a curvilinear motion or they may be moved in a closed path across the glass band. In each of these cases, care will be taken to move the upper and lower beams, and/or adjacent beams in opposite directions in order to reduce transverse stresses in the glass.
